Earlier this month Boost Mobileannounced the Samsung Galaxy Prevail, the first decent Android handset to land on the Sprint prepaid subsidiary. It's slated to be released just two days from now, and keeping up with its seemingly new demeanor, Samsung has already released the Froyo kernel source code over at the Open Source Developers Center.

While its tiny 3.2 inch screen and crummy 2MP camera certainly don't make this phone anything to write home about, I think it's nice that Sammy is paying attention to the little guys and big guys alike.

This is good news. I've been thinking of cutting expenses by moving to Boost (from T-Mobile), but have been waiting for this phone, an entry-level Android. With the release of the source code, perhaps CM7 will be ported for easy flashing, at least I hope it will be.
